I've been having some issues with my K1C and its rails, mounts to the chassis being loose/stripped somehow causing the whole thing to be wonky. So i decided fuck it and instead of trying to repair whats already broken.

Basically I'm wondering what linear rail upgrade is the best option ATM, for context of my current K1C toolhead, I have a DXC extruder, CFS cutter and uses a printed mount for that and the DXC, and a microswiss hotend.

I've printed and was going to install one of the ICB Guilotine carriages which is how i even discovered how fucked my current setup was, it also has a linear carriage so I'll just be using that for whatever upgrade i end up going with probably.

I've so far been looking at the HDM-K1 linear rail upgrade since it also gives me a little bit more bed space which is something which would be useful but I can't seem to find much on it to see how it fairs, I've seen the BCJ gantry upgrade but it reduces my build volume so I'm not really wanting to go for that one.

I've also seen the "D3D Creality k1 upgrade" which looks like it has a fair amount of good reviews but i just stumbled upon the Retroglide V5 upgrade which looks like it might be the best option in terms of performance.

Just wanting to see if there are other better options, if anyone has done the HDM-K1 upgrade and how it performance or which of these would be the best option.
